A great new button is added to your keyboard -- what do you hotkey to it?

That is to say–if you magically got an extra button on your keyboard that was super comfortable and fast to press, what would you bind it to?

I’ve been redoing my hotkeys and I’ve found a few buttons that are super convenient to hit, but aren’t bound to… anything, really. I was wondering what you would do with these buttons? My ideas so far:

  • a new command group (but with ~-6 and FGH bound, I don’t really need any more)
  • a new camera hotkey (I’m just not sure what I’d need to hotkey on the fly. What do you use camera hotkeys for besides your bases?)

So, I really don’t have that many ideas. If you were given an extra, easy to hit button, what would you use it on?

A camera-hotkey on the fly would be useful for the main army current position. And no, double clicking 1 (if thay is your main army CG) does not do that properly.
Personally i would use that new button for “Go to last alert position”. I have remapped “space” for something more useful.

Space is currently my base camera (base cam is important for injects so I’m ok with giving up space for it). Last alert is Shift + Space.

I’m leaning heavily towards a camera location tbh

I use camera hotkey for my warp in point (you can use it for the rally) At the begining I set it on my wall and later move it to the prism.
I play on grid so basically I use all keys on the left part of the keyboard. 1 2 for army, 3 for spellcasters, 4 nexus 5 robo+stargate, 6 is bound to ` for warpgates, and 9 is bound to mouse for flying units (since it used to be msc hotkey)

You use 4 for Nexi, i use 7 and add Forge/Cyber/Twilight etc, for having upgrades in a hotkey in order to start them without returning to base (only for Chrono).

Spaces. It’s my ‘F2’.

No, you need. The stupid Starcraft 2 UI destroys your imagination.
Look at this, it’s the picture of my mind when I play starcraft 2.
And give me 30 mintues, it’s 5:10 AM in china. I’m a little tired but I must tell you the secret of Korean players, the secret of my mind. If you want to design starcraft 3, you need it. My english is not good but I’m sure when you see the picture what I make by photoshop, you will know my feelings.

Select all Nexus/cc/hatch button

That’s why I need , you didn’t realize. That’s the secret of mutiline-micro control. I consider the whole thing what is happening and you only consider one location. The charm of RTS.

If I can custom my UI, I will do it. But I can’t, the strategy map is too small, too small you know. I can’t see clearly when terran want to attack my second base and main base by mine-drop at the same time.

What a stupid resources Pane! It’s too small. It’s important for me to play as ‘econmy protoss’!

I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you want to tell me.

Are you trying to describe the usefulness of Camera Hotkeys (1 click transports your screen to a location on the map)?

Just let viewers use the UI what starcraft 2 is using. I’m player. Not viewer, give me the UI, someday if you can. Someone is cheating you. The UI of starcraft 2 is for viewers now, not for players! Because he wants more advertising, more money! Not a good game. No!

Warp locations if you’re protoss, or a depot rally point if you’re terran.

Maybe your scouting overlord if you’re zerg?

really like your UI concept. Minimap as a full screen, small windows for things that you need to see. This reminds me: the Alpha Star basically uses minimap as its main screen, so there’s that.

Because this is UI of my stock trading software. I generally like to put the whole stock quantitative model in the middle. A fund is composed by many stocks, the middle is the fund. :rofl:
Give me five mintues.

You can see MA1,MA2,MA3,MA4,MA5,MA6. They are called MACDs.
It seems like group 1, group 2, group 3, gourp 4.
Then the value of VOL seems like resources.
The bottom: ARBR, BIAS, CCI…
They are camera 1, camera 2, camera 3.
All of these values determine the stock’s rise. ( The sentence is usually used to deceive customers. )
If each line is a stock, then the graph in the middle is the fund.

Got it?

Confused? Nice.
The rectangles with red and green represent the opening and closing prices, the lines in the middle of the rectangle represent the highest and lowest prices. In mathematics, these are called crests and troughs.

More confused? Ummmm… Nice. Now you want to give me money to help you,right? Not bad.
That’s what Q Quant is for.

Do you want to know the difference between P Quant and Q Quant?

Idk I’m a filthy grid layout user (with some custom modifications; like using tilde for all army, tab to cycle bases, space to cycle selected unit powers, etc)

Nothing, because for some bizarre reason this game doesn’t let you use special modifier keys, you’re only allowed to use control alt and shift. Because reasons.
